Pa,

up early again :wink:

great colours, only thing I'd do is crop a bit of the grass on the bottom.

cheers,

André

Nice light = great shots, but according to Andre - you have to try crop more on the bottom, now is really too much grass, and after this you will receive superb panoramic photo proportions :)

Love the colours. I played with this in PS and some more blues and grees (upper and lower parts of the frame) balances the vibrant colours in this.

:agree: with what others said with crop.

Wow those are really deep colours there Pa, is the grass really that lush and deep green? How did you get the rays of the sun like that? Was it just a property of the lens/filter or just the angle you took it at? Thanks for sharing the pics, it seems so serene.

thanks for the feedback all, here are the cropped versions...i like them..i was playing with thirds in the originals....

if anyone wishes to play and post feel free

Val no magic photoshop with the rays, thats how it was....the flood waters have been on all the grassy erea hence it's lushness

Wow! Great colors... composition isnt my cup of tea though :)

The foreground took away from the colors! Didn't mix well to me..

Pa, i'll do ya a swap, you come to sydney and play with sydney views and i'll take the sunrises over old bar :D

I like your cropped version :up: - the lush grass is very applicable and appropriate given the rainfall up that way.
